POPSThe Shweeb velodrome is the worlds first human powered monorail racetrack [PICS] WOOOHOOOO! Looks like fun! The Shweeb velodrome is the world’s first human-powered monorail racetrack. It has two long overhead rail circuits, varying in height between two and four metres above the ground. High-performance pedal-powered vehicles hang under the tracks. The pods swing freely from side to side and as your speed picks up, you swing wildly around corners and soar high and low over undulating terrain. Up to five vehicles can be loaded onto each track, enabling teams to race each other either one-on-one or in tandem or you can race against the clock.

POPS2010 Kawasaki Concours 14 First Ride "But the big story this year are those touring improvements. Are they enough to vault the Concours ahead of its class? Well, the Kawasaki has certainly gained ground on its competition. At $14,599 in base form and $15,299 for the ABS/TC version we sampled, it delivers a lot for the pricetag (A comparably equipped BMW K1300GT with heated grips and ASC (Anti Slip Control), for example, is well over $20K.) The new Connie is also possibly the best looking sport-tourer out there, available for 2010 in Candy Neptune Blue and Flat Super Black. One thing is certain, Kawasaki took a great bike, listened to its customers, and then made the bike even better. Sounds like a winning formula to us." ~Bart Madson

POPSSafe City Parking for Commuter Bikes - Covina, Calif. Neat idea and to be tried out in my hometown where cars had been king in cheap gas eras but now has bike riders and access again to commuter rail. Grin - there was commuter rail in the late 1940s and early 1950s that went bust when freeways and 15 cent a galon gas killed them.

POPSTwo Sisters Out to Change the World – On Motorbikes
♫Now, there was a time when they used to say that behind ev'ry great man, there had to be a great woman. But oh, in these times of change, you know that it's no longer true. So we're comin' out of the kitchen, 'cause there's something we forgot to say to you. We say, Sisters are doin' it for themselves, standin' on their own two feet and ringin' on their own bells. We say, Sisters are doin' it for themselves. Now, this is a song to celebrate the conscious liberation of the female state. Mothers, daughters, and their daughters too, woh yeah, woman to woman, we're singing with you, ooh, ooh. The "inferior sex" has got a new exterior. We got doctors, lawyers, politicians too, ooh ooh ooh, ooh. Ev'rybody, take a look around. Can you see, can you see, can you see, there's a woman right next to youou. We say, Sisters are doin' it for themselves, standin' on their own two feet and ringin' on their own bells. Sisters are doin' it for themselves ♫ -Annie Lennox

POPSHow To Kill New York SEPTEMBER 16, 2009: FBI agents with bomb-sniffing dogs Wednesday raided the Colorado apartment of an Afghan national linked to Al Qaeda and a plot to attack the New York City subway system.... In the past three days, the NYPD increased its attention to the subway system and its 5.2 million daily riders. Officers were warned to keep an eye out for vans near transportation hubs such as Grand Central, police sources said. The safety zone around subway and commuter stations also was expanded by two blocks, the sources said. Interesting little thought exercise - done in 2004

POPSRear-Facing Car Seats Protect Older Children in contrast to forward-facing seats, rear-facing seats provide full alignment of the head, neck, and spine, so that crash forces are dispersed over these areas rather than centered on one site. The message for healthcare professionals, the authors say, is that they should recommend rear-facing car seats for children under 4 years of age. To fully address the issue, however, seat manufacturers and retailers need to "increase the availability of rear-facing car seats for children over 20 pounds."

POPS'I'm the guy who received your son's heart' Mark Phillips was a 21-year-old graduate of York Tech. He worked as a diesel mechanic, but wanted to drive big rigs. He was working in that direction when the accident occurred. On Sept. 22, 2007, he was riding his Yamaha V Star on Route 30, heading toward Gettysburg, with his best friend and his father. He wasn't feeling well and was lagging behind when the two other riders made it through the light at Kenneth Road. A witness later told police that it looked like his motorcycle folded. It didn't. It flipped. His mother suspects that he became ill, threw up and while doing that, gripped the front brake too hard, causing the bike to flip. He wasn't wearing a helmet and suffered extensive brain injuries.

POPSAnd I thought Portland was a Biking town ... But this ... this is clearly what I would call a bicyclers Capitol. I've never been to Amsterdam, although I've met several people from there, and even a missionary who went there to try and help the younger generation connect with their spiritual lives. But, I have ALWAYS been impressed with the biking culture they have there. This post, and these pictures goes a long way in describing it. Mostly, I just loved the pics, and thought you might like to see what a LOT of bikes looks like.

POPSBarbara Ehrenreich on the criminalization of poverty There are a lot of Kafkaesque stories in this piece, like that of wheelchair-bound 62-year-old homeless veteran Al Szekely, who was imprisoned after a nighttime raid on a homeless shelter. His crime? He had an outstanding court summons for criminal trespassing -- he'd gotten a ticket for sleeping on a sidewalk. In other words, " hey arrested a homeless man in a shelter for being homeless." The truancy discussion strikes me as the most vicious part, though.
